Bharat Sanchar Nigam [BSNL] Complaints & Reviews

Dear sir,
I am a BSNL prepaid mobile customer for the past two years. Now a days am getting unwanted calls and sms from BSNL. I tried to register DND, at the time am getting sms from bsnl that "your request is received and wait for registration number". But for the past one week, i didn't get any registration number and i fed up with unwanted calls. So kindly do the needful to resolve my problem, otherwise i will force to move for legal activities.
Thank you

Dear Sir,

I have been using BSNL broadband for the past 2 years. My BSNL landline number is[protected].Till now i was happy with the billing of BSNL. But last month i saw that an additional amount of Rs.135/- has been charged against MoD(Music on Demand). When enquired at exhange, they said its from bsnl.hungama.com . I am tottaly not aware of this service and i called up hungama.com customer service and understood that the service was not activated without my consent, neither i didnt get the activation details for the said servvice.

I really dont know why i am suppose to pay for something which i havent subscribed.

For the past one week, i am trying to escalate the issue with support.[protected]@hungama.com, but i am not getting a proper reply from them.

It would be really appreciated if you can take an action on this , as i feel it really humialing (even though the amount is small). It really kills the reputation of BSNL.

If i am not getting a proper respose from hungama, i will be forced to move this to consumer court and fight against this cheating.

I want to have this issue sorted out without such hassled. I request you to intervene and guide where to complain about this.

Thanks in advance.

My landline number[protected] instrument with caller ID facility is not working since last one month. I have lodged atlest 15 to 20 times complaints with BSNL for replacement of instrument. But everytime, some one from BSNL telephones and enquires whether the phone is working or not. I always take pains and explain about my problem that my telephone instrument needs to be replaced as I am now forced to use one borrowed Airtel instrument. Then they say O.K. and simply close my complaint as closed. I am vexed with this sort of service of BSNL. They are taking rentals without providing any service. This is against all laws.

BSNL Ernakulam (http://www.ernakulamtelecom.gov.in/index.html) and BSNL Kerala (www.kerala.bsnl.co.in/) is not maintaining proper online bill payment facilities or their land line customers. This is really sad.

BSNL Ernakulam doesn't work properly. It would not allow you to log-in. It would not allow you to change or retrieve your password. It would not allow to re-register a phone number!!!. The BSNL Chennai portal uses exactly the same basic interface, but Chennai website allows you to do all the above things!!

BSNL Kerala web portal allows only Federal Bank for paying bills. I even suspect that this is some kind of scam! Somebody in-charge of online portal of BSNL Kerala is tied up with Federal Bank, otherwise why would they not have any of the nationalized banks?

BSNL national website www.bsnl.co.in accepts mobile bill payments of Kerala Circle, but not landlines. At least the Kerala BSNL people should allow the national website to accept payments of their land line customers. The BSNL National Website accepts most banks net banking as well as credit cards and debit cards.

I hope somebody at the BSNL national level will find out what is going on here!?

Dear Sir/Ma'am,
This is very regretful that Rs 550 has been debited three times from my SB A/c on 8/11/2010 while I was doing top up of my bsnl prepaid mobile. Out of these 3 transactions, 1 trsaction is credited to the mobile A/c.1 has been refunded back to the same SB A/c. But 1(one) trsaction is missing which is neither credited tothe mobile A/c nor refunded back to the SB A/c.This is causing a huge inconvinience, do the needful as soon as possible.
Trsaction descriptions are also attached as follows:

Dear Sir,
Today i.e, on 23-Nov-2010 BSNL Prepaid Excel Mobile No. +91 -

[protected] deduct my balance Rs 5 for some service. Without my

consent or any sms or information. When at 6.30 P.M. i checked

my balance before making a call i found Rs 5 deducted from my

account. i was shocked and call the customer care. They replied

me BSNL Masti Pack is activated on your number. I told them it

can't be activated from my side for which i am very sure and I

never heard what is the Pack. Then he told me keep on hold i am

getting the information and told me We cannot refund your

money, we can only deactivate the pack. I don't get any

complain no or any reply from customer care executive as I told

them it is not activated from my side. I told them to lodge my

complain and forward it to their tech team. But they don't

lodge my complain. Sir I am 100 % sure that this service is not

activated from my side. There is some technical mistake from

BSNL Side. Please consider my problem and do the needful and

refund my balance.

I am a customer of BSNL prepaid mobile since last more than one year, from last 10-15 days BSNL has started health tips service on my mobile without my permission, on doubt I called BSNL customer care today dated 23/11/2010 on 12:08pm , I talked to executive regarding this matter , she told me that we can't tell you anything from here, as we can't check from here, then she asked me which type of msgs are you receiving ? I told her then she told me that health tips are started on your number , I told her that I have not started any health tips service on my number then as usual she told me that we(BSNL) don't start any service, I was expecting same type of answer from her as I knew that mobile companies are doing similar things to cheat customers with their money, then I told her to stop this service or I would complaint about it to TRAI, then she told me "Aapko jo bhi kuch karna hai kar lo hum yahan se kuch nahi kar sakte go and talk to your local exchange" . I was surprised to listen such type of answer from CUSTOMER CARE of BSNL mobile company. BSNL is sending health tips messages to me even at 12:30 in night when I am sleeping, even I lose 2-3 hours of sleep in night due to unwanted BSNL health tips messages. I request this forum and TRAI to take necessary action regarding this matter and stop this health tips service on my number .

Dear sir
I am using a bsnl no. [protected] since last 2 month in Bihar. I have
seen the prepaid terrif in bsnl site whose link is like this :
http://www.bsnl.co.in/service/tariff_excel_pre.htm. In which bsnl to
bsnl(local/std) free recharge is in Rs 500. I have made Rs 500
recharge today(22/11/10) and I have got the message following:
You have received prepaid credit of Rs.500 from no.279186 on
22/11/2010 at 12:05:20 PM and your account valid till 05/04/2011 Ref
No.[protected]. But BSNLto BSNL free service is not started and no
amount is added in previous balance.
I made a call to customer care (west Bengal) and talked to Mr Vijay
Sharma(technical advisor). But he has refused to assist me in this
matter and told me that since this scheme is in the other state so
recharge will be done but you will not get any facility. So my Rs 500
is fully wasted.
My problem is if any scheme is not in a particular state then that
scheme recharge should not be successful in that state’s no.
I am kindly requesting you either my bsnl to bsnl free service should
be started for on month or at least Rs 500 balance should be credited
in my bsnl mobile account.
I have again complained to 1503 (Arghya Sur, supervisor .customer support). But he has not register my complaint.

Thanking you

Hi,

I have got BSNL lanline number and broadband connection on the same number. I took unlimited broadband usage plan(Rs 750). The monthly bill comes around (750+200) .

But the line never worked properly even after multiple complaints. If the phone itself doesn't work how can they charge me for using broadband??

I did not pay the last bill, so they have disconnected the number, the phone is now Dead. But, still they are sending me the monthly bill every month. I do not want to pay any pending bills as I have not used any services. Can someone please suggest what to do?

Please escalate to concerned authority.

I want this connection to be cut. Also, I don't want to pay the bills either.
